The water is much lower, the fish are abundant, and there are lots of people visiting because they've heard the water is lower. Lots of pressure on the hungry fish. It looks like a fish hatchery, but it is a challenge. The fish are picky and they know what they want. If you don't have what they are keyed on, you don't stand much of a chance of hooking one. Tiny flies, size 20, 22, and 24. And some are resorting to 8x tippet. Accurate casting and a natural drift are essential.
All the photos in the prior posting show gravel, rocks and exposed shoreline. This is all new and a result of the drastic reduction in the flow. I'm going to post some comparison photos showing the change in water and shoreline. This has been a wonderful experience and I keep marveling at the changes this river has gone through and hopefully will continue to go through for many years.
